That said, I have always been an early adopter in the 'new media' world, and so I don't think most people in that industry have grokked the importance of ActivityPub, Mastodon, platforms like Eleventy and Buttondown (both of which are very customizable and web-friendly). This is a *new* new media. Incidentally, one of these podcasts I listen to claims the "open web" is dead, but I don't think they understand what the open web is these days.
